I remember so clearly when Jack came to meet my parents and take my sister Jackie out on a date the first time .He was so very handsome he was barefoot,smelled great and had plaid Bermuda shorts on.My mother was having a fit because he was barefoot.Some how he won my mother over because my sister got to go out with her date .When they would sit on the sofa, which was backed up to the wall with the stairs above I would make my move and stick my hand between them for a payoff to leave them alone that worked very nicely that summer.They were soon married the following Christmas. Jack never tired of hearing how he first met my sister and she turned him down for a date !I spent many summers with them as they added on to their family.There was always so much excitement when it was time for Daddy Jack to come home.He was the best father he knew how to be.He was a good provider to his family .He was a beloved brother-in-law to me although we could get in some heated debates mostly about how businesses should be run .In many ways he was tender hearted and cared deeply about the homeless.I know now he is with my sister and knew the Lord in a personal way I will miss you,Jack,I will always be your favorite sister -in law and be there to comfort your children.June
